User Review: Osprey Raincover
Rating: ![]()
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $30
Summary
With a 65L Atmos Osprey, the Medium is ample big. Do not buy the large as vendors have Large for 65L. Only reason not 5 stars is no really drenching rain test yet.
Pros
- Lightweight
- Compact
- Easy to re-stow in its envelope
- Seems to provide adequate moisture protection
- Size Medium fits 65L Atmos well
Cons
- Unknown if any due to no savage-rain test yet
Main point here is about the fit. I went all over various sites and while vendors list the Large rain fly for the 65L and larger packs ... you'd make a BIG mistake (er ... pun intended ...) buying a large. The Medium fits very nice.
See my review of the Crazy Creek Long Back Chair (for end-of-hike luxury and sleeping pad all in one) which the fly fits over together with a backup pair of water shoes tied to bottom of my Atmos 65 (photos included).
I've been in steady rains ... no wind/torrent apocalyptic rains yet -- and it's done perfectly. Easy/quick to put on, tie off, and quick-drying/easy to tuck back into its built-in storage pouch.
